Drew,

I was on a callback at a NYC firm and a partner was bringing me to my next interview and we took the stairs, five flights up, in a suit. I asked him "So is this why they call it a sweatshop?" He just looked at me a little weird and half-laughed.

I haven't heard back yet. What are the odds this [censored] me?



Also, describe the optimum path out of law school to pay off debt, get well off (not rich, but not struggling), and be able to enjoy life a bit.

this is hilarious. i'm pretty sure you won't get an offer, though. out of curiosity, was this skadden?

nah, not skadden.

i don't think it'd hurt, he seemed to think it was funny and we had good rapport before and after this.

my other favorite line so far:

interviewer: so how would you say you work in a team environment?

me (trying not to groan or roll eyes): well when i was ten i broke the basketball league record for most assists.

[awkward pause]

him: umm....

me: just joking, (he smiles)....i played center.

him:....

me: seriously though, x, y, z....


that one i got an offer so it was fine. once i started getting offers it let me not care as much about other places and just joke around, etc.
